Changing Nginx Ports

Open the IBM Aspera Shares on Demand Nginx config file found at /opt/aspera/shares/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

Update the the HTTP and HTTPS server blocks with your desired ports.

These are the default settings for the two server blocks:
                    
server {
    listen 80 deferred;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
                    
server {
    listen 443 deferred;
    ssl on;
}
                  
Update the values of the listen and return directives with the desired ports:
                    
server {
    listen 9080 deferred;
    return 301 https://$host:9443$request_uri;
}
                    
server {
    listen 9443 deferred;
    ssl on;
}

Update the passenger_pre_start directive located at /opt/aspera/shares/etc/nginx/conf.d/shares-pre-start.conf.

The default value for passenger_pre_start is the following:

passenger_pre_start https://example.com:443/;

Update the passenger_pre_start with your desired port. For example:

passenger_pre_start https://example.com:9443/;

Note: Prior to Shares on Demand 1.8, the passenger_pre_start directive is in the main nginx.conf file.

Tell Nginx to reload its config file.

/opt/aspera/shares/sbin/nginx -s reload
